Don't Miss the Fabulous K&L Real Wine Assault Tasting on March 25th in San Francisco!
San Francisco retailer, K&L, released the following press release today. Or maybe it was an e-mail:
Real Wine Assault Comes to San Francisco!!
This special event will take place on Saturday March 25th from 1-4pm in the parking lot adjacent to K&L's San Francisco store (638 4th St between Brannan and Townsend). Joe Dressner, Importer and Internet Wine Personality will be on hand with his group of vigneron from various regions in France to meet you and present their wines along with appetizers from some of SF's most famous names. Dressner's collection of growers are known throughout the industry for producing honest, unmanipulated wines that are never “over-anything”. All the wines you will taste are made with these guiding principles in mind: Wild Yeasts, Hand Harvesting, Low Yields, Natural Viticulture, No or Minimal Chaptalization, Non Filtration, Non-Interventionist Winemaking and Quality Control... expressions of the places and the people. Tickets ($50) must be purchased in advance while they last.
Jeff Vierra from K&L in Mareuil-sur-Cher planning the Real Wine Assault
In addition to the wines and growers that will be detailed below, Hog Island Oyster Company will be on hand shucking away, Charles Phan of The Slanted Door will be tempting you with inspired small bites and Doralice Handel new proprietor and cheese guru of The Cheese Shop of Healdsburg will be force feeding a selection of regional French and American cheeses. All guests will receive a free wine glass from Riedel.
Pouring their wines that day will be: Catherine Roussel and Didier Barrouillet from Clos Roche Blanche in the Touraine, Jean-Paul Brun from Domaine des Terres Dorées in Beaujolais, Christine and Eric Nicolas from Domaine de Bellivière in Jasniéres, Franck Peillot from the Bugey, Marc Ollivier from Domaine de la Pépière in Muscadet, Isaure de Pontbriand-Cribiore from Domaine du Closel in Savennières, Eric Texier from the Rhone, Suzanne and François Pinon from Vouvray, Alain Coudert from Clos de la Roilette in Beaujolais, Jean-Paul Versino from Bois de Boursan in Chateaunuef du Pape, André Iché from Château d'Oupia in the Languedoc and Catherine le Bihan from Mouthes le Bihan in the Southwest.
Along with some select older vintages that the growers have sent over, too many wines will be poured and too much fun will be had... so don’t miss out! This event will surely sell out well in advance, so get your tickets now. Any cancellations must be made at least 72 hours before the event.
